Most business clichés are lies : By Justin Welsh
Here are 7 of the worst:
Money doesn’t buy happiness:
It may not buy happiness, but it buys freedom and flexibility.
The more that you have, the easier it is to say no to things you don’t like.
Doing less of what you hate and more of what you like makes you a much happier person.
Quality over quantity:
Not at all in the beginning.
When you’re just starting out in any new endeavor, repetition matters.
So start with quantity to help find the quality.
Then do both – high output, high quality. Win/Win.
Cheaters never win:
Nearly everyone who is someone has cheated in their ascension to the top.
It doesn’t necessarily make it right, but it’s 100% true.
And unfortunately, that’s why we have a lot of poor academics and rich criminals. Always be heavily skeptical.
There are no stupid questions:
“Stupid” is a pretty subjective term, but there are questions that can easily be Googled.
If you skip Googling and ask (at work, in life, etc.) you’ll be labeled as a liability rather than an asset.
Teaching yourself is a wonderful habit.
Good things come to those who wait:
Good things come to those who take action in the short term and stay consistent in the long term.
Waiting and waiting until everything is “perfect” will yield the opposite of “good things”.
It will likely yield nothing.
Work a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life:
I love my job more than anything.
I’ve transitioned out of executive leadership in tech and into a full-time creator helping thousands of people.
It’s still a ton of work. The most work I’ve ever done.
If you have faith in yourself, you don’t need a Plan B:
Again, randomness and chance are at play here.
Build your career like a venture capitalist, not a venture-backed founder.
Have a plan A, B, C, D, E, and F. Increase your chances, and decrease your risk.
